Ok, call me dumb, but i couldn't find anything to tell me what the stars are for (below some of your names, when you post). I'm also wondering about the Karma thingy.. and how some of you get the chinese astro sign.. and, and, and.. well, like I said, I'm dumb!
Oh, and in the spellcheck, why does it want to correct "I'm" to "Iamb"?

Stars are number of years y'all have been registered.

Chinese astro sign? Tell us how old you are.

Karma? That kind of died a death. I think after everyone realised I had a +14 score that this was probably a Dumb Thing.

/ps you're dumb

Thanks, VRB. smile

As for the age thing.. will over 21 do?


/not a blonde.... any more. LOL

Er... no. Chinese Zodiac works on a 12 year cycle.

ROFLMAO.. how about 54 then - not divisibile by 12 either though. roll

Another thing I forgot, what's the "donate pionts" all about? Who can I donate them to, and what for?

Thats the million dollar question. I heard that if you get a million then you get 5 bucks off a Brinet mug. :shock:

I'll risk some smart remarks from Monster and give you part of your answer, since no one else has.

In your profile, enter your full birthdate. That will bring up the heathen chinee thing and the other useless oddity. It will also say how old you are.

I think that the spellchecker doesn't know some of the contractions. Or maybe it wants you to write your music in Iambic Pentameter.

Hmm, musical iambic pentameters.. interesting concept, although I'm sure there must already be some somewhere... if only they were on the subject of the sea, I'd be made up.

Thanks, LS. I' don't really want to look at my age every time I read over my own posts though. sad

You can be as old or young as you want on the internet hun. If you get my drift. :razz:

But don't fret you're not the oldest, I just turned the wheel over another year above you, and there's a few others that are much older. :wink:

That could work, take off 12 or 24 years and that should still get you the correct heathen symbol as well as the fortune tellers thing.

I could put my age up cos I know there is one here who is older.
Many are older than me mrgreen

Many are younger, too evil

Ignore all the Karma and points crap. It comes with the board set-up. It's for sad communities who have nothing else to talk about. ;)
*chuckles* I don't want to take years off my age - I like being the age I am right now and married to a guy 12 years my junior! I just don't want to have to look at how old I am supposed to be.
Why does it try to correct "I'm" to "iamb"? Because computer code is only as smart as the dumbest person who contributed to it.

Nah Monster, you haven't reached the top of the hill yet, they've moved it way up there... :razz:

You share a great day with my granddaughter - she'll be 11. Have a wonderful day.
